Frustrated commuter gets revenge by morphing face of train CEO

These side-splitting images are the work of one frustrated commuter. Every time his First Capital Connect train is delayed, he pops open his laptop and defaces a mugshot of the company’s CEO. Oli morphs and distorts Tim O’Toole’s head into hilarious caricatures as a protest against what he brands ‘an awful train line’.

He writes: ‘Don’t get me wrong, Tim there have been times I’ve seriously questioned myself over this. I’m aware that this is not normal behaviour. Once I spent two hours making you a little suit made out of repeating patterns of your face.’ Oli captions each of his illustrations with the location and duration of the train delay.

The blogger complains that because his trains are always delayed he is forced to catch an earlier service. Because of this, he says he spends less time with his family.

‘The frustrating thing is that you’ve got me over a barrel, Tim,’ continues the post. ‘I have to use your trains and I have to pay whatever you decide to charge me. You’ve got me over a great big barrel.

‘My trousers are round my ankles and you’re not being very gentle with me. Pull my trousers up, dust me down and shake my hand. I’m paying you over five grand a year to be sprawled over that barrel so it’s the least you can do. ‘If you’re wondering how to get me to stop meddling with your face, then the answer is simple. Stop my trains from being delayed. I don’t know how. That’s your job. No delays. No new uploads.’

In response Mr O’Toole said it is ‘one of the most creative complaints I’ve ever seen’ but there is ‘a serious point’ and promised improvement works will help avoid future delays. He said: ‘This will result in a brand new station and dedicated train tracks and platforms for Thameslink services and there will be a fleet of new, longer, trains as well from 2016 which we’ve been developing with the Government – unfortunately we won’t be getting the opportunity to deliver these improvements ourselves because GoVia will be operating the route from September.’
